Mold flow analysis employs CAE software (such as Moldflow, Moldex3D) to simulate the flow, packing, cooling, and warping processes of plastic melts within the mold cavity. Mold flow analysis is conducted for double-wing molds at every design stage to identify risks such as trapped gas, weld lines, and sink marks in advance, optimize the process window, and reduce the number of mold trials from 7-8 to 2-3.

Thermal diffusion welding technology, commonly referred to as diffusion welding, is a precise solid-state joining technique. Its core principle involves bonding the surfaces of two precisely machined weldments in a vacuum or protective atmosphere. Under the combined effects of high temperature and pressure, microscopic plastic deformation and atomic-level interdiffusion occur on the contact surfaces, ultimately forming a metallurgical bond, thereby joining the materials together. Double-wing molds apply this technology to the manufacture of conformal cooling water channels, complex mold inserts, and micro precision molds.

Multi-material injection molding involves injecting two or more different materials sequentially or simultaneously on the same injection molding machine to form inseparable composite products. The dual-wing mold, equipped with a rotary two-color injection molding machine and mold core rotation technology, can produce products such as hard plastic + soft plastic, dual-color marking, and metal-encased inserts. This eliminates the need for bonding or snap-fit assembly processes, enhancing reliability.
